One who subverts convention or orthodoxy or varies from social conformity in order to reveal spiritual or moral truth: a gek. Throughout history different societies have used different approaches and followed different guidelines for interpreting Divine providence. Some approaches have brought people closer to God and truth while many have led people into deeper darkness, plunging succeeding generations into ignorance and apostasy.

"Woe to this evil generation which calls 'evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness…" Isaiah 5:20 We are living in a generation where good is bad, and bad is good. We are living in a generation that is a repeat of the Biblical story of the Tower of Babel. Today, humanity is not building a tower per se, rather it is coming together and uniting under a centralized global government.

THE ILLUMINATI:

The Secret Covenant of the Jewish Secret Society Known As the Order of the Illuminati is nothing more than antisemitic conspiracism, much like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. A hoax document fabricated by the Czarist secret police in the early 1900s to divert grievances caused by an oppressive monarchy toward the scapegoat of Jews. It is the kind of inflammatory rhetoric favored by fascist nazi propaganda! In times of great adversity, is it not the Jews who are a favorite target of Evil?

The idea of a widespread freemason conspiracy originated in the late 1700's and flourished in the US in the 1800's. Persons who embrace this theory often point to purported Masonic symbols such as the pyramid and the eye on the back of the dollar bill as evidence of the conspiracy.

The major immediate political effect of allegations of an Illuminati Freemason conspiracy in Europe was to mobilize support for national oligarchies traditionally supported by the Catholic Church hierarchy. Across Europe authoritarian governing elites were coming under attack by reformist and revolutionary movements demanding increased political rights under secular laws. The ideas of the Enlightenment were incorporated by the leaders of both the French and American revolutions, and in a sense, these Enlightenment notions were indeed subversive to the established social order, although they were hardly a secret conspiracy. The special status of the Catholic Church in European nation-states was actually threatened by the ideas being discussed by the Illuminati and the rationalist wing of the Freemasons.

"As Weishaupt lived under the tyranny of a despot and priests, he knew that caution was necessary even in spreading information, and the principles of pure morality. This has given an air of mystery to his views, was the foundation of his banishment.... If Weishaupt had written here, where no secrecy is necessary in our endeavors to render men wise and virtuous, he would not have thought of any secret machinery for that purpose." - Thomas Jefferson
